Do you like the hit 1996 blockbuster Independence Day? Well, go watch that one, instead! Independence Day: Resurgence is too long, with too many characters (including a barely-there cameo from the first movie), with too many things ripped off from the first flick, and with people not caring enough. It's like Ready Player One if the moviemakers had only seen Independence Day.

Find out what the "Wilhelm Scream of Boats" is, how many things they lifted straight from the original ID4, including one horrific caricature they lifted straight from a prior era/Nazi propaganda, and who got a "Wendy from Wendy's" done to them.

Independence Day: Resurgence is 2 hours of our lives we will never get back, but we recommend you watch it because so much of this movie ended up memory hold and it came out only FIVE YEARS AGO!

Plus there's a little treat in the outro that gives you the same disconcerting feeling as watching the movie.

Next week we get back to our low-budget schlock roots with LAPD: To Protect and to Serve starring Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen. Then, it's BRAWLOWEEN 2.0 with Slender Man and 13 Ghosts! LAPD: To Protect and to Serve is only on illicit streaming sites so count to three... movies, and you can find it.
